Azores Sao Miguel vacation - highlights and hiking

Hawaii in Europe

06/2022 At the end of May 2022 we were in the Azores with friends for 10 days, more precisely on the main island of Sao Miguel. From our accommodation in Furnas, we explored the beautiful island.

In our travel video I have prepared the highlights and hikes so that we hike clockwise across the island.

Our hikes on Sao Miguel:
Hike at Lagoa das Furnas
Hike to the Salto do Rosal waterfall
Hike to the Fabrica da Cidades (Lost Place)
Hike to Salto do Cabrito
